The news has been so bad recently that I intentionally avoid looking at TV Shows like CNN and MSNBC. This week, as a sanity defense, I read a Steven King Book called "Bag of Bones".

Classic ghost story about a fiction author who lives in Maine. Kinda autobiographical I guess. It's a Great Book and totally removes me from what we laughingly call "Reality"...

[CHANT] Hey, Hey, NRA, How many kids did you kill today?
NRA chief calls for more guns at school. Arming teachers. Well, that wouldn't have done anything to prevent the Las Vegas Mass Murder... AND... The Florida High school Murderer was wearing full body armor and a helmet... Teachers with pistols would have had no chance to out gun an teenager with an Assault Rifle. AND... Reality shows that the more guns we have the more likely hood of gun accidents... Suicides... and what if an Armed Teacher "Goes Postal" and shoots up students and other teachers? Who will pay for all these new guns? We already can't afford to buy basic school supplies like chalk and books... Who will pay for Gun Training? The real solution is LESS GUNS... OUTLAW Assault Rifles and Raise gun ownership age to 21 and increase background checks.
Remember, President Trump signed a Law that makes it easier for mentally ill people to buy guns. People that are getting a Social Security Disability Check for Mental Illness would be allowed to pass background checks. That's what Trump's ACTIONS have been... The exact opposite of his words...

Great Book: "Designing Reality- How to Survive and Thrive in the Third Digital Revolution" Gershenfeld Brothers It's about Fab-Labs. Quantity of Three dimensional printers are increasing double every 18 months. Just like INTEL did with microprocessors...
Great Book: "Troublemakers: Silicon Valley's Coming of Age" by Leslie Berlin A history of the computer industry from mid 1960's to 1976... including Genetech. Unknown people in the big startups... #3 at Apple, #2 at Atari etc.
Great Book: "The Know it Alls" by Noam Cohen Another history of Silicon Valley in the 2010's. Computer Ethics.

Here in California it is possible to Register to Vote on the Internet. For people that are house-bound this is a way for them to vote by mail. Many old people never go out except to go to the doctor. Many have moved from their family house to an old folks home and need to re-register... Go visit your parents and help them register. This election is extremely important. We all have to join together and throw all Republicrimes OUT! Register and Vote for Green, Democrat or Libertarians...

Republicrimes are ANTI-Family Values. They supported an accused Child Molester in Alabama [Moore] and an accused Wife Beater in the White House [Porter]. They are opposed to Health Care and voted to end Obamacare and cause millions of people to lose their insurance... Causing untreated sickness and early death...

Trump's plan of ARMING TEACHERS is astonishingly stupid. What happens when a student grabs the gun and takes it away from the teacher? The Teacher gets DEAD. Many High School boys are bigger and stronger than their teachers and could wrestle away a gun. This is a classic BONEHEAD TRUMP IDEA... The answer to gun violence is making guns illegal... FEWER GUNS lead to FEWER DEATHS. #OutlawGuns
~~~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~~~
Why should we all vote against all Republicrimes Everywhere, Everytime? Because Republicrimes are the paid puppets of the NRA. The Gun manufacturers business plan depend on people that already own guns to buy more guns. Everyone who wanted a gun has already bought one and so the industry depends on people that want to increase their arsenal from 5 guns to 50 guns. The Gun Lobby publishes hysteria producing propaganda about dangerous evil strangers that plan to attack your family. The Brainwashing causes gun owners to spend money buying more and more and more guns to defend themselves from an imaginary enemy... In FACT, having a gun in the house increases the chance of having a gun accident... Families are LESS SAFE with firearms in the house because they are often used upon the family. Get Smart America! #OutlawGuns

Great Band: Sonic Youth. Three electric guitar players, bass and drums. They play elaborate instrumental jams in the grunge style. Frequently the melodies sound like synthesizer sequencers but they are all played live. Angry unintelligible lyrics. I can't actually tell what words they sing but in general they are upset about something... Great feedback song too. Like Hendrix style noise. Intense. 
~~~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~~~
Why should we all vote against all Republicrimes Everywhere, Everytime? Republicrimes oppose FOOD STAMPS... Classic proof that Republicrimes are in favor of EVIL and opposed to GOOD. Food Stamps often are used to feed children. Children learn more at school when they are not hungry. Resulting in a more intelligent generation. Food Stamps also increase sales and profits for FARMERS. Money that would be used feeding children is freed up to be spent on other goods... like shoe, clothes, cars, rent,  bicycles etc. It has been estimated by a supervisor in the welfare office in Eureka, CA That every dollar spent on food stamps increases spending by THREE dollars in our local economy. Stores have to employ more clerks, stockers and truck drivers to handle the increased sales. Those employees receive paychecks that they spend on their own families... Everyone Wins! Remember to VOTE AGAINST ALL RPUBLICRIMES everywhere everytime...

Trump FAILS to enforce Russian Sanctions Law. Congress passed it, Trump Signed it but NO ACTION HAS HAPPENED. The Deadline to impose sanctions to punish the Russian Government for Meddling in our Presidential Election was OCTOBER 2017... Trump  is behaving like a #PutinPuppet. Why does not the President defend our country from INFORMATION WARFARE? Because he has to do what Putin tells him to do. Like an obedient puppy. Let's Impeach Trump for Dereliction of Duty. He's in the Military [Commander in Chief] but he is refusing to follow orders... Lock Him Up, Jail Time in Leavenworth just like any other soldier that disobeys orders. #LockHimUp #BogusPOTUS
~~~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~~~
Great TV Shows: Futurama and Ancient Aliens. Futurama is even better than the Simpsons... And they are both made by Matt G... Ironic Cartoon Shows... Ancient Aliens has a believable premis, we were visited by UFOs long ago and people documented the Close Encounters in The Bible and other ancient books... AND there are many Pyramids worldwide and other strange rock structures that have unexplainable construction methods... Very Mysterious... Why build a Pyramid anyway?

[Chant] "HEY, HEY, NRA, How many Kids did you Kill Today?" #NEVERAGAIN
This weekend Trump PANICS and tweets 13 times about the Trump/Russia Investigation. The tone of these tweets is desperate... Frantic! He blames a wide array of other people for his troubles including, and I'm not making this up, OPRAH Winfrey. He also accuses the FBI of wasting so much time investigating Trump/Russia that they failed to notice warning signs of the Florida High School Mass Murder. This tweet enraged the surviving students. They plan a march on Washington to protest GUN LAWS. AND a Nationwide School Walkout to commemorate the Columbine GUN Massacre. "HEY, HEY, NRA, How many Kids did you Kill Today?" Already there are anti-gun protest marches at the White House with students staging a "Die In". They ought to go to the visitors gallery in the House and Senate and chant, chant, chant... Just like the Disabled People Protests last week. That's an effective way to get the attention of their representatives. Getting arrested on TV is a classic strategy. #NEVERAGAIN
High school students stage ANTI-GUN protest in Florida. Since the government has been bribed by the NRA to keep guns legal it falls to teenagers to rise up in revolt against mass murder by gun. Just like the Civil Rights and Anti-Vietnam War protests of the 1960's, today's youth are leading the country towards a brighter future. While Congress and Trump passed a law that makes it easier for mentally ill people to get guns, kids just don't buy that absurd behavior. We all are outraged... #MakeGunsIllegal - I want you to get up and go to your window and scream: "I'm Mad as Hell and I Won't Take it Anymore." or... In the culture of 2018, post your feelings on Social Media... OUTRAGE!

How to Prevent Your Own Brainwashing. Avoid listening to people that are trying to influence your beliefs. Stop looking at them also. For Example: On TV there are endless advertisements that are trying to sell you products... simply mute the sound with your remote and close your eyes. Take a deep breath and say your mantra... Then after a minute, look at the TV to see if your show has started. My Favorite Mantra is [Inhale]...Be...[Exhale][Inhale]...HERE...[Exhale][Inhale]...NOW...[Exhale] and when you say the words contemplate the meaning of each of them...in deep introspection... Meditation is MUCH better than listening to someone telling you to buy cars, booze or Doctor Pills. With enough repetition, people BELIEVE what they are told. 
Some TV shows are pure propaganda and should be avoided entirely. The Channel called "RT" tells news from a Soviet perspective. Beware of Fox News and Bright Bart Simpson Blog. They are blatantly promoting lies that support The Republicrime Agenda and the wishes of the Super Rich. Their marketing strategy is to tell viewers what they want to hear. In a world where people actually voted for Trump we can see that brainwashing actually works. Good sources of NEWS: MSNBC, CNN, Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Mother Jones, PBS, NPR, Pacifica Radio, Democracy Now with Amy Goodman, Free Speech TV, GET OUT!, Link TV... 
INFORMATION WARFARE: 13 Russians were indicted by Robert Mueller for meddling in the 2016 Presidential Election. They communicated with Trump campaign officials. Trump admits Russian Meddling. Please be aware that BOGUS Russian Propaganda is being posted to Facebook and Twitter in the 2018 election. DO NOT be fooled... Wake UP America... Report Bots... Write your own INFOWAR... We need to fight back. Quoting George W Bush "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN." It is possible to spot Russian Trolls... They use English that sounds strange... AND They generally promote Insane Candidates like Trump... The most recent example of Russian INFOWAR is the hash tag #ReleaseTheMemo... Both Fox News and The Russian Trolls promoted that one... and when it was released Nunes Memo was a dud... We all should promote hashtags like #NeverAgain #BogusPOTUS #DumpTrump #Impeach and #LockHimUp

We CAN NOT WIN The War in Afghanistan. We have been fighting there for 16 years and there is no end in sight. The local people beat The British, The Russians and now the USA. We have no mission, no goal, no excuse and absolutely NO EXIT PLAN. Our original Mission was to Kill Osama bin Laden but he is dead. [Thank You, President  Obama] For some unknown reason we still are at war there. WTF? We could save a Fortune in Money and Human Life if we simply got out. Surrender or Declare Victory and GTFO... Just let those people over there solve thir own problems... Of Course, we could fight there for another 16 years and then surrender but what would be the point? I've spoken to many Soldiers that have come home and none know why we are there and many have PTSD... Pointless Suffering... Real Americans who were victims of our crazy Military Industrial Complex... According to one author, DARPA has invented drugs that make soldiers BRAVER, more COURAGEOUS... More willing to fight... I believe that these drugs are what have caused so many veterans to commit suicide after they come home. It's a side effect of the psychoactive warrior enhancement drugs. Never before in history have there been so many veteran suicides as the survivors of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Like many drugs, while the soldiers were actively taking them they work as designed but after they stopped... watch out for serious side effects... like suicide.
Great Book: Future War... Documents DARPA's research into warrior enhancement drugs. DARPA [the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency] is most famous for inventing The Internet. They have an almost unlimited budget to do research on basic science... All of the projects are classified and it's entirely possible that they continued the CIA's project MKULTRA and designed new and amazing drugs. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34002976-future-war
Great Book: "The Most Dangerous Man in America" Biography of Timothy Leary by Bill Minutaglio. Leary promoted the use of LSD as a learning tool... Famous Quotes- "Think for Yourself and Question Authority" and "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out"
Another Great Book: "The Doomsday Machine" by Daniel Ellsberg. He also was called "The Most Dangerous Man in America" on a TV biography show... [CNN]
Another Great Book: "The Spider Network" by David Enrich is about a British Bank fraud... A Bankster gets caught manipulating LIBOR Numbers is convicted and spends time incarcerated. So rare that a Bankster actually gets jail time...
Another Great Book:"Hacking" the American Election of 2016. by Malcolm Nance. Did Russian Meddling CAUSE TRUMP TO WIN?
Should we have a nullification of that election and lock him up?  https://www.amazon.com/Plot-Hack-America-Cyberspies-WikiLeaks/dp/1510723323

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood...

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara...
